We were in one in 2010 the basement filled up in 15 mins but had time to get all stuff up to the first floor. I have a stairwell down to basement and the water filled it up door held it for about 10 mins then it broke in. 15 mins later it was at top step and electric panel was still working people were walking in water I thought for sure someone was gonna get fried we left went to holiday inn the next day got a dumpster and wrecked basement when water was gone. Sucks I will always help when a town or village gets hit like that  bring lunches stuff like that
